This was really insightful and fascinating. Funnily enough, Stranger's Wrath is what got me into Oddworld in the first place. As a kid, I was attracted to anything cool and tough so naturally this game appealed to me, but then I discovered something much deeper and authentic within Stranger's Wrath which opened my eyes. I then decided to look into the Oddworld franchise but was initially put off by the fact that the first two Abe games were 2D (I was more of a 3D gamer) but eventually I decided to give them a go and fell in love with those games as well. Abe and Stranger are two completely opposite characters but they both bring something valuable and unique to Oddworld, and I love them both equally.
Stranger Wrath is still the best game i know! I played it the first time like 11 years ago when my uncle gave it to me as a present on chrismas and i was hyped af! It suck me into an awesome world and i played it over and over and over again! It too was the reason why i bought a ps3 back then, because i wanted to play the hd remake. I still love the game and the story behind and i would love to see stranger in a second adventure! Thanks for this great piece of video game art! Im very sorry, that it never came out bigger, because its an absolute masterpiece!
My father Alf Gamble was Lorne and Shelly's friend they developed Alf's Rehab and Tea after my father. Lorne I still have all the gifts you and Shelly sent to him including some soul storm brew.
4 dislikes from Abe purists. Seriously, I have been playing Oddworld since the first game hit the shelves and I think they should give Stranger's a chance, it is different but it expands on the universe and I think they will end up really enjoying it. I kind of dismissed it at first too because it wasn't the old Abe formula, but after playing it I was gripped into it and it ended up being my favorite Xbox game. Give it a go!
I respect Oddworld doing something different but I'm just not interested in the action gameplay. It's not really about being an "Abe purist" but being more into stealth and saving Mudokans in industrial environments.
This game is still one of THE Most Unique shooters I've ever played right next to the original PREY. I selfishly hope you guys make a sequel to this gem someday!
Man, what a great video! It's listening to developers like Lorne that you see how incredible games can truly be and the Oddworld series has always set a standard of sound and world building that puts it on top of most other games. Incredible the thought process that went behind the characters and the Stranger as a character. Truly inspiring, thanks for the upload.
I read the title wrong on the UA-cam notification. I understood they were developing a new Stranger's Wrath game. I got super hyped for a few seconds I WANNA KILL SEKTO!!! Or maybe learn a little more about him, his story, maybe he had a tough past and now we could see what he did from his perspective and maybe even empathize with him...yeah probably, that would be nice
Gloktigi are inherrently evil, parasitic creatures. Dude just fed off the nameless steef for years and used his body to build a water-selling empire. No motives for sympathy here. Tell us the ballad of Fangus Klott instead
just replayed it on steam, still amazing the Oddworld is such a fun world to build around and play in. there's really nothing else like it. truly a fun game and world, I would pay 60 for even a remake or reboot of strangers wrath.
Maybe he could be a second playable character like Munch. Abe teaches Stranger more about magic and puzzle solving while Stranger teaches abe more about using action and aggression.
I loved hearing some more details about the development of the character, there's so much to continue with his story. I honestly would love to see a sequel merge into the main quintology.
I still play this game every so often. Beaten the game several times over(actually just finished the game today), but still good to play every so often(decided to buy the PC HD version, used to originally play it on the original Xbox). I certainly have tried the other Oddworld games, but never got into them as much as I did with Stranger's Wrath.
I completely agree, there's just something about it man. Its the soundtrack, the wild west theme of the forst half, the serious and somber tone of most of the second half. Its an amazing game and a beautiful story
As an Oddworld fan since Abe's Oddysee, this was a very underrated and overlooked game during its time. It was a real departure from what the series had previously produced but that's what makes it so good in terms of the story and it's overall setting. My only disappointment is (and its a very minor one) in a title that's full of western style outlaws and henchman, having cameos from Sligs and Glukkons would have created a stronger link between the earlier titles.
I think the addition of Sligs would have been neat. I agree. Ultimately, the Western would meet an Industrial sci-fi look, which might be kind of neat to explore.
He's so brilliant, absolute gem of the industry. One of a kind. ...But he's looking a little run down here. Please look after yourself Lorne, you're FAR too important to lose. ❤
See I love hearing about the development of these games because obviously there was way more planned. I love how the Oddworld games seem to be like one off titles because of how different they are but actually there is like a movie's worth of lore in it
I don't think preorder is the way to go, is a little tiring seeing all the strangers wrath pushing. Still an amazing interview. Doesnt matter what hes talking about, the man can tell a story
I think if a new oddworld game gets made they should title it simply like The Odd World Part 1. Where it would be a sequel to all the series titles and incorporate all the unresolved games also. Munch hearing about the development of Abes rebellion growing seeks him out, they decide to recrute a legendary one man army cowboy viking from a far away land as their main muscle. They meet a character named squeek, an albino slig, and another big badass warrior fangus klot along the way, who all join the rebellion liberators along the way. They defeat some oppressive asshole and with a group of all the heros the developers wanted to make joined together sets the sage for part 2 if the game does well.
@Jack Hayhurst why though? Is there a need for a sequel to Stranger's Wrath? I thought it was a fitting end, Sekto is long gone, who's gonna be the Stranger's antagonist bar a few troublesome outlaws?
@Jack Hayhurst yeah, swam away into the open ocean, could be anywhere now, far away from Western Mudos and out of the Steef's reach, and I'd count what happened to Sekto as defeated, I mean, what would you do if your only choice was to retreat? That's a defeat right there, for now I think the main story of Abe should be finished before going for side stories, or if anything he could make SW canon, I hope you and I can at least find some common ground with this
It was definitely different. I liked it, but I loved Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus much better! For many reasons, but most especially because just the atmosphere...
I like Stranger's but how about an update on Soulstorm? Come on Lorne. Oh, I'm going stir crazy cuz of this damn quarantine. Sitting around at home, can't go anywhere, no work. So how about Soulstorm?
I think a lot of us feel that but try to have faith that it will come eventually. He's the last great mind of the industry (even Kojima has started making garbage now) It's hard but he obviously needs that time for whatever reason, he wouldn't be stalling just to be a jerk.

Great video but I clicked on this video specifically to see Lorne go into the whole scandal with Microsoft that soured their contract and stopped development of oddworld games until new n tasty.

Guys... We're reaching the point where we're getting tired from having stranger, munch and newntasty adapted for switch, xbox, every new PS, gameboy advance, my microwave oven and the dishwasher. Give us some fresh info on soulstorm already...
That's how they pay for Soulstorm's development, by releasing their games to new audiences on new/different platforms. Im not sure i understand how that tires out old fans, you don't have to keep buying or playing them yourself unless you want to.

We need a sequel of this amazing game
YES!
Or a prequel.
It would be amazing !!!
A sequel and a remastered would be amazing don't you think?
I would love that! I’m even more hoping we get more unique Oddworld games because it’s always fun to see something really fresh
Man, Lorne is just so fascinating to listen to. I love how he applies his analyses of the world at such a big level to the Oddworld games.
The legendary, luscious Lorne Lanning
The man is an absolutely specimen, ngl its a bit strange to see someone so gorgeous so heavily involved in gaming.
I think you missed out limitless 🤔
Wonder if he bought his own shirt?

That's what's cool about Lorne is that he made a puzzle character like Abe and then an action hero like Stranger.
I love this dude...my favorite game developer! He has so much passion for his projects! Strangers wrath is my favorite oddworld game

This Lorne Lanning guy is a beautiful human being. Beautiful soul. Listening to him talk makes me proud to be a human being. #soinspired🤘
He comes off as a magic person.
My father Alf Gamble was Lorne and Shelly's friend they developed Alf's Rehab and Tea after my father. Lorne I still have all the gifts you and Shelly sent to him including some soul storm brew.
I love how a little bit of Abe comes out when he starts to run out of breath as he's talking.

Ikr
I hope the stranger makes an appearance in a future Abe game, as a bad ass who comes in saves Abe and goes on his way
Maybe he could be a second playable character like Munch. Abe teaches Stranger more about magic and puzzle solving while Stranger teaches abe more about using action and aggression.

Stranger's wrath is a game that I played and still play, as has a few family members and ALL say stranger's wrath 2 is a great idea. Please

Stranger’s Wrath was so amazing!!! I hope that it gets remastered!
It was the first Oddworld game I ever played, and so it has a special place in my heart.
This game shows that Oddworld is bigger than previously imagined~
I could listen to this genius talk all day. He's up there with Walt Disney and George Lucas as a pioneering visionary.
I agree. Have you seen the Ars Technical Extended Interview with Lorne Lanning? It's brilliant.
Lorne Lanning is a brilliant man. I am thankful he exists
Have you ever considered Kickstarting your projects ?
I played this game when I was little .
Still do to this day .
I'm still waiting for part 2 please do a sequel!
The predator has become the prey! One of the best twist in gaming!
Honestly, I would much prefer a sequel to Stranger's Wrath than another Abe game.
AshtimusPrime or one unmade one
Yeah the concept of the game was really awesome and i want stranger's wrath sequel so bad
the thing is abe needs more sequels then stranger

one of my all time favorite games. i wish they came out with an other one :(
"in the development as North America as a nation"
I like this guy's attitude! We're not there *yet*, but any day now!
Thanks Lorne, I love you man.
Do a remastered version of strangers wrath
More longer form videos like this, please.
The best adventure game i ever play,, i hope the dev add next sequel
And odd world open world game like stranger wrath could be game changing honestly
Cmon, give us preorder to speed up soulstorm relase date :)
I don't think preorder is the way to go, is a little tiring seeing all the strangers wrath pushing.
Still an amazing interview. Doesnt matter what hes talking about, the man can tell a story
I'm saying. Take my first born at this point idgaf
This game brought me into oddworld.
Make more please or release the game on all the platforms
You're a real inspiration and game design Guru.

Please can you make a second one as this first one was amazing!
Just got the game on Nintendo Switch. Loved it! I will be getting the other games and soul storm when I get a PS5
YES STRANGER IS MY FAV
That game was great, but it's so short, if only there was an open world exploration mode it would be great. Maybe they'll get 2 it would be good
